Realistically Watts and Howe wont be dropped.

Out: Green, Benell, Bail, MacDonald

In: Martin, Couch, Tapscott, Blease/Morton/best mid from Casey.

OUT: Green, Macdonald, McKenzie, Sellar, Bennell

IN: Tapscott, Moloney, Morton, Couch, Tynan

Green is gawn; Macdonald is too slow, too short and his disposal is wretched; McKenzie can't dispose of the ball properly and is still not fit enough because of his injury; Sellar only came in to match it with the WCE talls; Bennell has no idea or willingness to get the ball

Tapscott is hard at it; Moloney is still our best midfielder, and as long as he hasn't cracked the sads, and is one of the few senior players who has a shot of taking us forward; Morton is just a hail-mary, hope-he-shows-something selection; and Couch has had some good form of late; and Tynan should never have been dropped.

Is Sylvia a chance of playing next round? If so, then he's straight in, perhaps for Colin Garland, who's been woeful all year.

I saw the first half after the first 15 minutes. Then the bar witch from the west got me dragged for me complaining about her 2 weeks a go. Barman apologised to me again re her, told me he couldn't serve me but let me stay until the boys in blue came an hour later. Barmen asked me if I wanted a beer 10 minutes before the boys turned up. I needed an ATM so He gave me a wink & said, "My shout".

I'm going to take it further next week.

The teams: Green was quiet again I think. McKenzie should be Sub, with his lack of fitness base, although that may put him back further. Maybe your right, he should get fit with Casey, but I can't think of anyone who'd be better.

I'd keep Sellar for height balance & it frees up Frawley to matchup on others tall or small. IMO the Rivers/ JMcDonald/ Garland thing isn't working. TMac looked OK, encouraging.

So, I'd bring in the likes of Morton for run, Davey for run & pace, Martin in, Moloney if fit? Couch for McKenzie, leave Green for one more, Maybe Bail goes out for Tynan, Bennell > Sub:

Not Morton, please. I don't want to see him play again.

Morton is better than half the blokes we have in there at the moment.

At least he has a bit of run and good disposal.

What can you say, has anyone ever heard of f.........manning up. Thats it for me a supporter for 50 years I have nothing left to give

Showing the white feather? I have been a longtime supporter too, but I'm not changing ships now or ever.

We need more VFL players

Well at least in Magners case he just plays footy unlike our overpaid players

I agree we should look further afield the sooner the better

Morton isnt the kind of player we need. We have too many of that kind already.

Just a bit of push and shove from the Tiges. We're yet to see if it will pay off, but it's something the Melbourne players didn't show today when they were getting flogged.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
